Screen Shot .... possible new feature?

[mikecwest]

I am unsure HOW I did it, but I as trying to take a screen shot with CMD-SHIFT-4....

I somehow ended up with something different than normal. The top edge, and left edge of the safari window ended up with some odd looking "rulers," each was marked with lines, and moving the mouse would select what seemed to be predefined segments of the window.

Along with the rulers and predefined marks on the ruler, it would show guidelines along each segment as you moved the mouse to each "predefined segment".

I clicked on one, and it took a screen shot of that segment.

I have been unable to replicate it. I wish I had taken a photo of it.

I've done this before,
Muitiple times.

I can't remember what the typo is to cause this, happens to me once a week or so, It is the default behavior when you open the Screenshot App from anywhere other than the CMD + SHIFT + 4 (or 3 for full screen) But it happens in Mojave as well, so its not a new feature at all.

I just tried opening the screenshot app. That did a CMD-SHIFT-5, no rulers and guidelines were different than a CMD-SHIFT-5.

I apologize in advance for my crappy art. It looks sort of like this image I made. If I moved the mouse to another section, the shaded parts moved, and the area that was not shaded is what got captured.

Command-Shift-C?

Sounds like the Safari Web Inspector function, "Start element selection (⇧⌘C)" which has a target button ⌖ at the upper far left of the inspector. Except that you said it took a screenshot of the element.

Edit: Ah, I got beaten to it.

Yeah. Looks like I was tripping there. I guess it was not letting me take a screenshot, but maybe activated that after k grabbed the shot.

Thank you for the information. It was bothering me.

I guess my little drawing helped a a little?
